What USL changes could mean to the Timbers

A post below mentions Vancouver moving from the USL to a new pro league for next season.

Now comes word from the Oregonian that Portland Timbers owner Merritt Paulson is wondering what's next for his club and four other USL-1 teams.

"As we get ready for Major League Soccer in (2011), I need to know that I'm going to have a (league) season in 2010," Paulson told the paper. "It's important for us to have certainty of a 2010 season."
